Downburst #2

Downbursts usually occur in "families" and that is the case this evening as a second distinct downburst (at this point, a "microburst") has occurred from a second thunderstorm that formed on the original downburst's gust front (scroll down).

Here is the Doppler wind data as of 6:10pm. The original downburst's winds are the thicker arrows. The second downburst, to the northeast, is shown by the thinner arrows.

Here is the latest reflectivity data at 6:18pm. You can see the second thunderstorm south of Haysville which caused the second microburst.
